2 WIZARD OF OZ PRODUCTION NOTES: CHARACTERS: IN KANSAS: DOROTHY, a young orphan AUNT EM and UNCLE HENRY, Dorothy s only family MR. LYON, MR. CROWE, and MR. WOODMAN, farmhands MIZ SWITCH, a nasty neighbor TOTO, a stuffed toy in a basket IN THE LAND OF OZ: GLINDA, a good witch The MUNCHKINS, a group of timid folks who love to eat The WICKED WITCH of the West SCARECROW TIN MAN LION GATEKEEPER of the City of Oz OZMA, loyal employee of Oz OGMA, the Wizard s very efficient secretary WIZARD, the Great and Powerful HOCUS and POCUS, sidekicks to the Wicked Witch See the section at the end of this sample for a discussion of ways to add extra characters if desired. The script is designed so that a total of 8 actors (four women and four men) can play all of the roles. Other gender ratios are more than possible. (For instance, in the premiere production of this script, the Wizard was played by a woman, thus changing the gender ratio to 5 women and 3 men). A doubling plan for a cast of 8 would be as follows: Aunt Em doubles as Glinda, Ogma, and Pocus. Uncle Henry doubles as the Gatekeeper and the Wizard. The farmhands double as the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Lion. Miz Switch doubles as the Wicked Witch. Ozma doubles as Hocus, and can also be a Neighbor in the Kansas sequence. The five actors who do not play Dorothy, Glinda or the Wicked Witch can play the Munchkins (who only appear once). Obviously, for those who do not need to work within a cast size limitation, each role could be played by a single person, and extra Munchkins, attendants and so on could easily be IT IS AGAINST FEDERAL LAW TO COPY 2 copyright On Stage!
3 added if you desire a larger cast size. SETS, COSTUMES AND PROPS: Production elements can be as complex or simple as the budget and facilities allow. Elaborate settings are fun, but simple ones can suffice just as well. Areas that need to be suggested and/or portrayed in Act I: a Kansas farmyard which should include at least a corner of the house, Dorothy s landing spot in Oz, which can have the house in the same location as the first scene and is near the Yellow Brick Road. When Dorothy sets off on the road, the setting doesn t really have to change at all, as long as the Kansas house goes away. She meets the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion as she travels along the road, and the different moods can be done with lighting changes. The Oz gate or Doorway can be as simple or involved as is convenient. Remember, though, it probably needs to move on and off, so keep that in mind. The chamber of the Wizard can be anything at all. The first part of Act II takes place mostly on the road, and since the Witch has magical powers, she can see what is happening from any location. Once the travelers are captured, the setting should change to the castle of the Witch where an implied Grand Hall or Courtyard would serve the purposes of all the action. When the scene goes back to the City of Oz, a single implied location could work for the entire sequence. The back to Kansas segment is very brief, and actually works most effectively if the Oz set simply goes away, and no major attempt is made to restore a Kansas setting. Costumes and props (especially for Oz) should be FUN. Oz is a magical fantasy place, so fashions can be any style, or any mix of styles. Lots of color and exaggeration (i.e., not just cute little red poppies, but BIG brilliant poppies that the two witchlets can hide their faces behind!) are the most effective motifs to try. It was a deliberate choice to not use the characters of the Winged Monkeys (the two little witch sidekicks are far more fun for the actress playing the Witch). Also, the characters of the monkeys (as depicted in the MGM film) are quite frightening to consider as live characters, and, of course, their costumes could be quite complicated and expensive. The use of music and sound effects, live or taped, greatly enhances the production of this play. IT IS AGAINST FEDERAL LAW TO COPY 3 copyright On Stage!

7 MUNCHKINS: AH! (TO EACH OTHER.) Dorothy! (TO HER.) Hail Dorothy! I m just Dorothy from Kansas. MUNCHKINS: AHH! (KNOWINGLY TO EACH OTHER.) Kansas! You ve heard of it? MUNCHKINS: (CONSULT EACH OTHER BRIEFLY, SHRUG.) No. Oh. MUNCHKINS: Hail Kansas! Hail Dorothy from the Land of Kansas! But I MUNCHKINS: Hail Dorothy, who has destroyed the Wicked Witch of the East! You re all very kind, but I think there s been some kind of mistake. You see, the cyclone brought me here, and I didn t destroy anyone. GLINDA: Well, your house certainly did. MUNCHKINS: Hail Dorothy! My house? GLINDA: See for yourself. (SHE TURNS DOROTHY S ATTENTION TOWARD THE TWO VERY LARGE FEET APPARENTLY STICKING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOUSE.) Oh, my! MUNCHKINS: Hail Dorothy, whose house flies through the sky! Oh, dear! How terrible! GLINDA: Oh, yes, my dear, you are so right. She was very terrible indeed. What can we do? GLINDA: Why, nothing. Nothing at all. MUNCHKINS: Hail Dorothy! GLINDA: Don t feel badly, my child. The Witch of the East was very cruel to these good Munchkins. MUNCHKINS: (AGREEMENT.) Why are they called Munchkins? GLINDA: (TO MUNCHKINS.) Tell her why. MUNCHKINS: BECAUSE WE LOVE TO EAT! Munch, munch, MUNCH!! GLINDA: And the Witch of the East took away all of their food. How awful! GLINDA: I agree. Poor Munchkins. MUNCHKINS: Oh, yes. Poor us! Who are you? GLINDA: I am their friend. I am the Witch of the North. A WITCH!? IT IS AGAINST FEDERAL LAW TO COPY 7 copyright On Stage!
8 MUNCHKINS: Hail Glinda! A REAL witch?? GLINDA: (LAUGHS.) Yes, of course. What other kind is there? Oh, my! GLINDA: I am a good witch. MUNCHKINS: (AGREEMENT.) But I thought all witches were wicked. ALL: (LAUGH.) GLINDA: Oh, no, Dorothy. Some are bad and some are good. You see, here in the Land of Oz, we Oz? Is that where I am? GLINDA: Why, yes. MUNCHKINS: Hail Oz! GLINDA: In the Land of Oz there have always been four witches. My sister and I, who protect the lands of the North and the South, are good witches. Sadly, the lands of the East and the West have always suffered from the cruelties of two other sisters, who have been very wicked indeed. But now that you or rather, your house has destroyed the Witch of the East, there is only one Wicked Witch left in all the Land of Oz: MUNCHKINS: (SHIVERING IN FEAR.) The Wicked Witch of the West!! GLINDA: Who is a terribly Wicked Witch! MUNCHKINS: (AGREEMENT.) And when she finds out what happened to her sister won t she be terribly angry? MUNCHKINS: (REPLY ONE BY ONE.) She ll be furious! Enraged! Incensed! Irate! Livid! She ll rant and rave and storm! She ll tear us all apart! (ETC.) GLINDA: (TO DOROTHY.) Oh, yes, she ll be angry. MUNCHKINS: (SHIVER IN FEAR.) What can I do? GLINDA: You must try to MUNCHKINS: HARK! GLINDA: What is it? MUNCHKINS: LOOK! GLINDA: Oh, no! MUNCHKINS: It s HER! WHO?? GLINDA: The Wicked Witch of the West! MUNCHKINS: OH, NO!! Let s hide!

GLINDA: I have done nothing. WITCH: (ADVANCING ON THE MUNCHKINS.) All right, then, it must be YOUR fault! What have you mousy munchheads done to my sister?! MUNCHKINS: We ve done nothing, Wicked One! We LOVED your dear sister! WITCH: Yeah, right. Well, if nobody did anything, why is my dear sister lying squashed underneath this ugly little house? (SHE PICKS OUT THE SMALLEST MUNCHKIN.) You ll tell me, WON T you! WELL? ONE SMALL MUNCHKIN: Great Dorothy destroyed her, Evil One. WITCH: Great WHO?? ONE SMALL MUNCHKIN: Dorothy. MUNCHKINS: (WEAKLY.) Hail Dorothy! WITCH: (TO THEM.) That s about enough out of you! Well? Which one of you is Dorothy? I am. WITCH: I see. So, Great Dorothy, who do you think you are? How dare you just drop out of the sky, and dump your stupid ugly little house on my dear sister? It was an accident. WITCH: Oh, sure. It was! WITCH: Oh, right. An accident. You just happened to be flying by, and decided to dump your stupid ugly little house on my sister. I couldn t help it! WITCH: I don t believe you! But it s the truth!

Oh, please, I just want to go home. WITCH: Where s that? MUNCHKINS: Kansas! WITCH: (KNOWINGLY.) AHH! Kansas! You ve heard of it? WITCH: No! I see. WITCH: I think not, my dear! You ll never see Kansas again wherever it is if I have anything to say about it! Oh, no! WITCH: Oh, YES! I ll get you and your little doggie, too! ALL: Oh, no! WITCH: Just see if I don t!

OZMA: I bring visitors to Oz. OGMA: What! Does Oz expect them? Do they have an appointment? No, we OGMA: No appointment!? Then he won t see you. Begone, Strangers! Goodbye! And take the Lion with you! Oh, please! Can t you just tell him that OGMA: TELL him? TELL Oz to do anything? You re joking. Oh, no! LION: I m afraid to joke. TIN MAN: And I have no heart for jokes. SCARECROW: And I don t know HOW to joke. OZMA: (TO OGMA.) Look, couldn t you just ASK him? OGMA: Welllll, maybe. Thank you! OGMA: But that s no guarantee he ll see you. Awe-ful and Awesome Oz is a very busy Wizard. So we understand. OZMA: And who knows? He might be in a bad mood. ALL: Oh, dear! OGMA: Well, step forward. Be sure to wipe your feet. (TO LION.) And you wipe your paws. Oz hates dirt. He says it interferes with his magic. ALL: MAGIC! OGMA: Now, stay here, while I speak with Oz. (STEPS OFF STAGE.) Thank you. OGMA: (RETURNS.) Well! Did you see the Wizard? OGMA: SEE him? I have never SEEN him. OZMA: Nor have I. (TO OGMA.) But you SPOKE to him? OGMA: Of COURSE, I spoke to him. I speak to him quite often, actually. ALL: AND? OGMA: He condescends to see you. ALL: Hurray! IT IS AGAINST FEDERAL LAW TO COPY 11 copyright On Stage!
12 SCARECROW: Let s go! OGMA: WAIT! He prefers you speak with him one at a time. ALL: No way! We can t do that! (ETC.) We ll see him together! OZMA: Uh-oh. (TO GLINDA.) Please TELL him that. OGMA: YOU tell him that. I won t. (SHE LEAVES.) Very well. (GESTURING THE OTHERS TO MOVE TO THE CENTER OF THE ROOM.) Come along, everyone. LION: Lead the way, Dorothy! OZMA: She s a brave girl. TIN MAN: (TO LION.) You could learn from her. (THEY ALL GATHER TOGETHER IN ANTICIPATION OF THE ARRIVAL OF OZ. OZMA STAYS WITH THEM.) LION: Well? Where IS he? SCARECROW: Maybe he s out to lunch. (THERE IS NO OZ TO BE SEEN. THEN AFTER A MOMENT A LOUD AND POWERFUL VOICE IS HEARD. WIZARD: (AS A VOICE.) I am Oz, the Great and Powerful. Who are YOU? I am Dorothy, the Small and the uh Meek... WIZARD: (THE WIZARD CAN CONTINUE TO BE A VOICE, OR ACTUALLY APPEAR ON STAGE DURING THE DIALOG. IT IS FUN IF THE OTHER ACTORS STILL PLAY THE SCENE AS THOUGH THE WIZARD IS STILL A GREAT BIG VOICE SOMEWHERE ABOVE THEM, AND THE ACTOR/ACTRESS PLAYING THE WIZARD MOVES FREELY ABOUT THE STAGE, MAGICALLY INVISIBLE TO THE OTHERS, BUT PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTION. IT WOULD BE A MATTER OF DIRECTOR S CHOICE AS TO WHEN AND IF THE OTHER ACTORS ACTUALLY SEE THE WIZARD.) Hmm. And these are my friends. IT IS AGAINST FEDERAL LAW TO COPY 12 copyright On Stage!
13 WIZARD: What do you want? We need your help. WIZARD: Hmmmm. OZMA: I think he s in a bad mood. Really? Oh, dear! WIZARD: Where did you get those shoes? Ah from the Witch of the East. WIZARD: She GAVE them to you? Oh, no. WIZARD: AHA! You STOLE them! Oh, no! You see, Great Wizard, my house fell on her OZMA: Ouch! And she was well she was OZMA: Smooshed?! Uh yes. WIZARD: I see. That necklace you wear; it is from the Witch of the North. Why, yes. She told me to follow the yellow brick road and ask your advice. WIZARD: I see. She said you could send me home to Kansas. WIZARD: Kansas? Where s that? If I knew, Great Wizard, I wouldn t be asking you. WIZARD: Makes sense, I guess. Anyway, I know my Aunt Em and Uncle Henry are worried about me, and I really would like to go home. WIZARD: Why should I do this favor for you? Because you re a great Wizard, and I m not. WIZARD: Clever answer. Well, perhaps I can help you ah Dorothy. WIZARD: Yes, Dorothy. But, in return, you must do a small favor for me. That s only fair. What must I do? WIZARD: Oh, nothing much. Nothing much for YOU, anyway. What is it? WIZARD: I want you to destroy the Wicked Witch of the West. What?! WIZARD: Come now, my dear, you and your house easily disposed of the Witch of the East But I WIZARD: Surely the Witch of the West will be just as easy for you to conquer.

SCARECROW: Well, your Greatnessship, I need some brains. My head is filled with straw, and I would like to be able to think great thoughts. WIZARD: Hmm. TIN MAN: Oh, Your Lordliness, as you can see, I am made of tin, and therefore have no heart with which to feel. WIZARD: Well spoken, Tin Man, but you don t know when you re well off. (TO LION.) And what about YOU? LION: Uh uh uh WIZARD: Speak up, LION! LION: Ahhhggggg! (FALLS TO THE FLOOR.) OZMA: He fainted. WIZARD: Well? Wake him UP! ALL: Lion! Lion? Wake up! LION: (REVIVES.) Ohh!

18 ADDENDUM Some ideas for adding to the cast size of your production of THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ The Expanded Cast version per se already has many named characters with lines. The following is copy or text copied and pasted directly below from previous s we ve sent to other patrons addressing how to add extra actors. Both additions were just copied from the prior s without being edited for this specific script sample sent to you. FIRST ADDITION As far as extra performers for WIZARD goes, there are various scenarios including multiple citizens of Oz, guards and soldiers, other doorkeepers (all imaginary doors!), forest creatures including magical trees who move around to change the topography of the forest, actors who play the crows, a whole field of poppies, a number of other sidekicks for the witch aside from Hocus and Pocus (Abra, Kadabra, Presto, Chango, and so on) (By the way we cast Hocus and Pocus as women), other folks in Kansas, miscellaneous creatures who pass thru but are never explained - many more secretaries and assistants for the Wizard (who we also cast as a woman!), magic assistants for the Wizard - all of this should give you a few ideas. We can discuss these ideas at greater length if you like - just let me know. If you want to talk about some costume ideas we can do that too. After your auditions you'll have a better idea of what ages and types you have plus how many girls versus boys, and all that - which may affect how you select your extra characters. SECOND ADDITION Now in order to provide those line roles that are so dear to the hearts of young thespians (and their parents!) I would suggest you consider the following ideas: First and foremost I would of course ignore any suggestions in the script about doubling. Double if you want, but ONLY when you want. The roles of Ozma and Ogma can each be split at least in half with lines being distributed accordingly. We can create names for the alternate egos, so that all characters have a program name something also dear to the hearts of young thespians and their parents! IT IS AGAINST FEDERAL LAW TO COPY 18 copyright On Stage!
19 The same role splitting concept will also work with Hocus and Pocus, but since these roles are good sized, the lines can be distributed to extra people perhaps as many as eight or ten or however many you might want. All of these other characters could also be assigned names as mentioned in earlier s names like Abra, Kadabra, etc. This would work well since all of these characters would still be devoted followers of the wicked witch, and wicked witches love to have lots of followers. It really wouldn't matter if these characters are girls or boys, although if your drama group is like most others, you'll probably have more girls than boys. Also, the Munchkin lines can also be broken up into individual lines just because the script says MUNCHKINS doesn't mean that some of the lines can't be just one MUNCHKIN. If you add Crows and Poppies as characters some of these other folks can double as those or depending on your ultimate cast size, you may find yourself searching the Internet for a crow song or having your poppies sing a lullaby. Some groups also split the role of Dorothy among two or more girls; it's an idea that can work if the girls are all pretty equal in terms of general age and ability. Personally I think this idea is possibly a lot of extra work for the Director not too sure I would want to try it personally, but there's no reason to NOT do it if you fancy the idea. And last (but not least!) many groups opt to add the Flying Monkeys. This is relatively easy to do, since the main purpose of the monkeys in terms of the film tradition is for them to agree enthusiastically with everything the Wicked Witch of the West says or does. Incorporating the monkeys into the scenes with the witch entails simply adding their presence and perhaps allowing them to share some of the lines assigned to Hocus and Pocus.
